Pittsburgh Circus School
Private
Pittsburgh Circus Center runs a one-week Summer Circus Camp in Ben Avon where beginners learn aerial silks, lyra, hammock, static trapeze, roman rings, cube and crescent moon apparatus, and a ninja course. The 2026 session runs July 13-17, 11am-3pm daily, making it a half-day camp, and it ends with a mini show for families on the Friday. It is open to students entering 1st through 8th grade who are at least six years old and have completed kindergarten, grouped by grade at roughly one instructor per six students. It is a drop-off camp and campers bring their own lunch and snacks.

★★★★★Kelly EdwardsMy daughter had her birthday party here and Miss Holly was an amazing instructor and provided a wonderful environment for a group of beginners! Her patience with 10 crazy girls was impressive and admirable. The group had such a fun time and we hope to return again in the future! Highly recommend for a unique birthday party idea!
★★★★★Melia BlackSo much fun here! My niece and I both take classes here. No judgement zone, just fun and a good workout! We both go home ready for a shower and bed!
★★★★★M MaddenThis place is really amazing. My family has been taking lessons here for the past 2+ years and I could not be more thankful for the amazing staff at this place. Safety - The Owner / Instructor puts the safety of everyone above everything else. The rigging and silks are checked weekly for any flaws. All equipment is serviced and replaced or repaired regularly. Friendly - They spend time during each class teaching and encouraging my daughters to push themselves further. If you are looking for a new and fun way to spend your extra time then this is the place you should definitely give a chance.
★★★★★Roslynn ZielinskiMy daughter started at Pittsburgh Circus School right after the pandemic. Unlike some other facilities Holly, the owner, placed her in a more advanced class immediately as opposed to placing her in a class based on age. This provided her a valuable opportunity to learn from others at her skill level. She did not initially want to perform in showcases but was still encouraged to grow her skills. Holly's no pressure approach provided Aliza the chance to grow her confidence and now she willingly and excitedly performs in every showcase. It takes a special person to meet the energy of a group of energetic, and sometimes wild, kids with kindness, encouragement and a great sense of humor. Holly is that person. She is a role model for our children and her team. The entire Cirque Team is phenomenal and so attentive. I am so glad that we found Pittsburgh Circus School. Thank you all for everything you do and for your endless dedication to both the development of skills and character in our kids! Roz
★★★★★Kelley McDonaldI have been looking for an aerial studio for years and finally found Pittsburgh Circus Center. I do not live in Pittsburgh but in Erie. I drive 4 hours both ways to come to my weekly class. I absolutely love it and have been doing it for 2 years now. The instructors are so helpful, knowledgeable and kind. The people in my class are wonderful too! I wouldn’t drive 4 hours every week if the experience was any less than amazing! I love it there!
